Ever After

I cannot deny the struggle that exists between yielding to what looks and feels good instead of submitting to the God who is good! This is a daily struggle that can only be conquered through a daily pursuit of God. Yes, I live in this world, but I don’t have to allow this world to live in me. I don’t have to become a slave to something that will perish. Oh, but what hope awaits those who choose God.

As I continue to meditate on 1 John 2:15-17, I ask myself what is my end goal? The words in vs. 17 arrest me, “The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” How many times do we loose sight that there is more to come?  There is an ever after and our choices now will determine how that statement ends. Will it be happily ever after or tormented ever after?  

Our choice to love the world and what it offers OR our decision to love God and pursue His will determines what our end will be. Choose wisely.

Be Blessed
